There are some very interesting differences between myself and Doug Lord.

When I was told to create my own class or shut up; I actually created a new catamaran class and grew it to a point were it is becoming an international class and is proving most of my claims that were made earlier.

I have yet to see Doug Lord do anything like that.

And just think how many single handed sailors would have gone elsewhere if the weight had been 130kgs........ <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" />

you guys can't help but oooze this stuff everywhere.

And you wonder why such draconian measures are necessary in the F16 part of the woods when you have such charismatic leaders with quotables such as above.

That was certainly more eloquently worded than I might have been inclined (guess I was self-censoring)...

Mike

the only upsetting thing to me is that you sensor out porn! isnt that why Al Gore invented the interent?

the problem with letting porn on is that it invites all the porn bots, and this forum software doesn't have very good bot protection measures IIRC.

What's that... Jake's got the keys to dad's car? Don't leave without me, I'll be right there! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Mary:

You need to rename this Romper Room. (LOL) <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> My 4 yr grand daughter would love it. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> She could play with all the kids. Come on guys. GROW UP!! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif" alt="" />

Doug

Watch out Doug you might get put into a corner.

I'm with Mike and Mary, its just rules to play by not censorship.

Story: A friend hosts a card game. The rules are listed which one is "don't Bitch, if you don't like the rules start your own game and make up your own!"

In our "free" society anyone that doesn't like whatever "rules" that are imposed on this site are welcome to create their own.

Now back to our regular scheduled program.

Clayton aka NOT THE MODERATOR

I am just saying. We all have opinions. And we can agree and disagree. That is what is nice about America. It is just all the childish in fighting that needs to stop. This is a fun forum about the sport we all LOVE right. We do ALL love it, don't we? Lets get back to promoting the sport and stop all the fight (MINE is better than yours). It would be REAL sad if we just had one choice of boat , and that was it, wouldn't it? THANK God we have choices!!

Doug

Personally I feel that a forum made up of people that do nothing but hold hands and sing kumbaya is very boring, even if it is informative.

One of the nice things about forums is people tend to be a lot more honest about how they feel instead of giving some sugared down version so as to not hurt any feelings. We have become way to PC and hyper sensative to EVERYTHING!

I'll take a solid insult over a "let's all be friends" every time.

Badges....Rules...
We don't need no stinking....


Did someone mention a Keg?

Badges! We don't need no stinking....Badges!


LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Can a reporting system be implemented like other forums? ie. when someone is posting offensive material or being an idiot, they can be reported to the moderators by anyone who is offended. This means that the community is the moderator and the "moderators" just implement the communites desire...

Isn't that the case with ALL forums? Don't people know who the moderators are or who the administrator is and how to contact them? <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

Glad someone out there still has a sense of humor!

Cheers!

It's pretty easy to miss those four little icons at the bottom of each post and unless you mouse-over them it's not really obvious that the one on the far right is the "Notify Moderator" button.

Ah I see! But it is third icon from the left for me...and it is rather innocuous!

Well the community needs to use that button and the moderators should have some rules about when to implement moderation.
